Is This The Wisconsin You Want?

These are tough times and everyone needs to come to the table willing to negotiate and compromise.

Our teachers, nurses and other public employees have agreed to Governor Walker's cuts to benefits and pensions, yet he refuses to negotiate or compromise on his plan to eliminate collective bargaining rights. In fact, what he really wants to do is exploit the budget crisis to give himself unprecedented power. First he would end the ability of employees to negotiate with their employers. Now he has proposed giving himself the power to make massive cuts to BadgerCare and SeniorCare without legislative approval and to sell public utilities without competitive bidding. Rather than trying to grab power, we should be coming together to solve Wisconsin's problems.
